Hi everyone.

Just looking for some opinions to be honest.

My Audi R8 currently is black with the diamond cut rims which I really like.

What’s your opinion on powder coating the rims black?

I like the black look, looks stealth and very sporty.

But at the same time, looks a little bit boy racer.

Whereas diamond cut silver looks classy and fierce, contrasts well with the black imo.

I also like it as it’s OEM, how it came out the garage. I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to change it as it will ruin the Audi look it was born with.

What’s your opinion guys?

Here’s a couple pics of the two styles (neither are mine but just off autotrader)

On my previous car I switched to gunmetal since it hid the brake dust better than silver. Brake dust hasn't been an issue on my current ride so staying with silver. I also prefer a more basic open design as it's easier to clean and I like being able to see the discs and calipers.
